Font.Draw with variables!?

-----------------------------------

Hi, I'm rather new at Turing and I was just wondering if it is possible to put a variable within the font.draw, and if it isnt, I would also like to know if there is any way of outputting a variable in a specified font and size. 

var name1:string 
     put "What is your name?" 
     get name1 
     var font1 : int 
     font1 := Font.New ("Comicsans:14:bold,italic") 
     Font.Draw ("Welcome   ", 10, 10, font1, black) 
                          ^ 



I would like the variable name1 to come right after the text. 

If this is possible I would greatly appreciate it if you could teach me how. =]

Yes, you can use a variable, you can even use a variable that is not in "string" form, you can also use multiple variables and a mixture of variables and strings using the + sign.

ie: Draw.Text (intstr (health) + " /160", 175, 321, font1, black)


In your case, just alter the line of code to look like: Font.Draw ("Welcome " + name1, 10, 10, font1, black)

Try using the "+" sign to concatenate different strings and variables. Concatenation is when you join two strings together. You can use this in put statements like: put "Hello " + name

Or, you can use this in your case with: Font.Draw ("Hello " + name1, 10, 10, font1, black)
